First UK edition first printing 1952, the boards are very clean and sharp, with "Atom" device to upper board. The spine is straight with perfect titling and very sharp ends.

Feels very well bound and lightly read. Near fine condition. The jacket has bold colours to the front panel. There is a loss to the head of the front joint. The spine is toned and has light sunning but still retains some colour. The rear white panel has edge toning, particularly at the top edge, but otherwise very clean and bright. Jacket grades as very good. For grading accuracy books are photographed without a protective book cover.
